Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO 4.1.3

I am running 4.0.6 on Ubuntu 64-bit and Windows 7 32- and 64-bit systems.
I have no problems and would not say anything like "very buggy".

As for 4.1.3, well it is not as "far along" as a line as the 4.0.x line 
is.  Sure there may be some bugs, but "very buggy" is not what I would 
call it either.

I would not use the Portable versions of LO to be the test on how well 
LO works normally.  Portable versions tend to run very slow for me and 
do not represent how well the version actually works as a non-portable 
version.

Well, since you state that you use Kubuntu, install 4.0.6 instead of 
just downgrading to the 3.6 line.  I bet you would like 4.0.6 better 
than 3.6.x.  Try it and see.  I still recommend 4.0.6 to people I deal 
with, instead of the 4.1.x line.  In a few versions, I should be ready 
to jump to 4.1.5 or 4.1.6 and use it as my primary version and start 
telling my friends and associates to upgrade then as well.
